A bed, some brocanting and back to Winter

February 26, 2023

It seems strange to say, but this evening, the fire is lit and we’re cosy inside the house, watching the snow fall silently past the window. It had been predicted, but even this morning, it seemed unlikely, as we woke to beautiful blue skies, without even the slightest glimpse of a cloud on the horizon. … More A bed, some brocanting and back to Winter

After 3 years we have a bedroom with a door!

May 17, 2019

The last time I posted about the renovation works at our little place, the house was in uproar and we were tip-toeing through piles of debris and dust as our plans were turned into reality. The airbed in front of the fire proved to be a comfortable place to sleep and certainly very cosy, whilst … More After 3 years we have a bedroom with a door!

Let the renovation begin….

August 14, 2018

It’s well over 2 years now since we finally picked up the keys and opened the door to our little house in Provence after so many years of dreaming about it. We couldn’t afford a perfect house with elegant gardens and a pretty pool and always knew that our little place would need a bit … More Let the renovation begin….

4 months of living the dream

August 27, 2016

Where has the summer gone? Since the 25th April (apart from 22 days back in the UK) I have been lucky enough to spend the rest of the time out in the Vaucluse, sorting out our new house & getting under the skin of the beautiful area we have called home for the Summer. It’s … More 4 months of living the dream

Saving money & having fun furnishing our house 

June 20, 2016

It’s hard to believe that we’ve had our little place in France for almost 2 months and slowly but surely it’s starting to feel more like a home. When we drove down we only brought the car with us so were very limited with what we were able to bring – not that we had … More Saving money & having fun furnishing our house

Bargain hunting at the tip!

May 4, 2016

OK it’s not quite the title that usually draws readers, but I thought this afternoon’s trip was worth sharing. Since moving in I’ve been busy trying to find nice pieces of furniture for the house and needless to say I don’t want to spend a fortune. My theory is that any penny saved on basic … More Bargain hunting at the tip!

A day of Brocante & Lily of the Valley

May 1, 2016

From the middle of the week I could see that today was shaping up to be a busy day. Not that I had a list of things that had to be done, but more because I’d seen signs for 3 local ‘Vide Grenier’ events and I fancied popping over to the Brocante market at Carpentras … More A day of Brocante & Lily of the Valley
